Human-generated strategic communications
So … Why even Hire a Human when you have AI?
Fair question. There’s no one right answer, but here are five potential reasons.
YOU NEED TO MAKE A CONNECTION
A human writer offers relationship management along with content creation. When it comes to interviewing partners and clients and making sure they feel heard and valued, you want the human touch.
YOU HAVE A REPUTATION TO MAINTAIN
No one judges your use of AI copy when it’s a low-stakes context. But there are times when intention and authenticity really count.
YOU NEED ADVANCED CRITICAL THINKING
Only human consciousness offers critical thinking from a genuine external perspective. When your project requires conceptual development, dialogue, curiosity, pushback, or nuance, it’s time for human collaboration.
YOU’RE WATCHING THE BIG PICTURE
AI uses staggering amounts of power. Not every little task is worth it.
The architects of the AI bubble have made using rocket fuel for everyday tasks feel artificially cheap—for a hot second, getting hotter. But you know that’s not a reality-based approach to resource management.
YOU VALUE IMPACT
Hiring a human sparks joy. Giving humans meaningful work increases the amount of happiness, learning, growth, and connection in the world and adds value to the society around you. It’s an easy way to make a multi-vector investment in the greater good ... all while getting tasks off your plate.
BOTTOM LINE:
WHEN YOU HIRE A HUMAN, HER KITTIES GET TREATS
WHEN YOU USE AI, NO ONE GETS TREATS
